Thank you.  I think this is exactly the problem. The server seems to be "overloaded" and just cannot bring things up when it comes to the SNORT alerts. It did at first, but has been worse over time. I'm sure this will be helpful to others having the same problem.  I've been running Sentinix/SNORT with the default settings.  I had similar problems in the past and cleared things up by reinstalling (obviously not what I wanted to do).

Regards,
Will

You normally get this when the application is unable to load the alerts.
This could be because there are too many alerts in your database and the
application is unable to parse the same. Another reason could be that you
are logging alerts in "full" mode (detail=full). When logging alerts in
"full" mode the database size increases drastically causing the same      (
SnortCenter </fo) error to occur. Try using "fast" mode when logging
packets (detail=fast). This will log just the packet headers and not the
payload. The advantage here is that your database size decreases very
drastically plus your alerts page loads pretty fast.

syntax:

output database: log, mysql, user=<username> password=<password>
dbname=<dbname> host=<host ip / name> detail=fast

Does anyone have a clue why I get this message, and nothing else, when
going to the "alerts" page in SNORT?

SnortCenter </fo
